In the manufacture of beer, the barley, lvheat or other grain is selected with great care. It is first sulijecte,l to the process called steeping. which is effected in large cisterns with a depth of souls six or SeVOll inches above the surface of the grain. When the grain has become fully soaked—usually absorbing about 411 or 4d pounds to the cwt. of barley—it is taken out, allowed to drain for six hours and then spread upon the malt floor, where the next process of the opera tion is termed couching. Lying in beds of twelve or sixteen inches in depth, the grain soon beconlys moist, through chemical changes, and t ermination commences,when this has gone sufficiently far, which is known by the grain becoming white am) crumbly like meal, the process is changed and germination immediately arrested by thegrain being spread on the floor of a malt kiln, and the temperature raised gradually from sill to 140 deg., during the operation of drying the malt being frequently stirred. The' . brewing process, like that of the malting which we have described above, consists of several different operations. The malt is first ground or crushed to a coarse powder, which is afterward shaken into large maslaubs, containing water at a tem perature of Nu degrees. More water is added and the temperature carefully raised several degrees higher, after which the in fusion is drawn off. More water is then added to the crushed malt in the tub, drawn (Aland added to the first; still another wetting takes place with water at the boiling point. The next pro cess is the boiling, which is done by placing the infusion in large copper vessels fur nished with steam valves. During the boil ing operation the hops are introduced. The boiling over, the liquor is strained and al lowed to cool, when it is placed in huge wooden vats and yeast added. After hav: ing fermented long enough the liquor is drawn off into large receptacles and stored in huge vaults, where it is allowed to re main for several mouths; this is called tagering. The brewing season commences late in October and ends early in April. To pro duce forty barrels of lager beer there are consumed fifty bushels of malt, sixty pounds of hops, and three gallons of yeast, As WE EXPECTED.—The Bedford Gazette came to hand on Saturday last, and gives a totally different version from the telegraphic report of the fatal shooting affray in the town of Bedford on Tuesday last. Mr. Jno. P. Reed, Jr., who shot Mr. Crouse, is well known in this city, being a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College of the class of '62. He left here and went to Toronto, Canada, to pursue his legal studies, and is no Canadian refugee, as the telegraph has it. He is a young gentleman of brilliant talents, has great courage, and would never brook an insult. We know him well, and he is a mostgenial and warm-hearted companion.

"How are you, Reb?"

BARN DESTROYED BY FIRE.—On Sunday night the barn of Mr. Christian Bomberger, near Rothsville, Warwick township, this county, was destroyed by fire. It was till ed with hay and grain. A Threshing Ma chine and Reaper and nearly all the farm ing implements were likewise destroyed.— The farm is occupied by Mr. Rufus Mohler. The farming implements were all new. The loss is heavy, and there was no insurance. The fire is supposed to have been an incen diary's work, THE NEW STEAM FIRE ENGINE.—We see by a report of the Lansingburg (N. Y.) Steam Fire Engine, of its operations for the past year, published in the Waterford Sen tinel, that the people are very well pleased with it. This engine was built by Mr. L. Button, and is of the same make, design and size as the one ordered for the Union Fire Company, No. 1, of this city. During the year, the report says, there were nine teen fires, when the engine wasin operation some sixty hours, and in not a single in stance, from the immense body of water thrown, was the fire permitted to injure adjoining property. At these fires 11,200 feet of hose were laid, and as the water was always pumped up from the river, some dea of the great power of these engines can be formed. Button's engines are evidently equal, if not superior, to the best in the country, and the Union boys pride them selves in having selected one of his manu facture. In anticipation of the speedy arrival of their engine, the Hose House is being re fitted so as to be adapted to its new purposes. The doors are enlarged, the floor strength ened and braced up, water pipes taken in, and the engine room considerably increased thanks to Messrs. Stehunan & Co., A. W. 'Russel, and Diller tAz Groff, for donations of paint and hardware. When finished the house will look well, and worthy of the handsome new engine.

Charity Twice Blessed All over the South, there are families and even neighborhoods, not yet re covered from the shock and ravages of war. The white women are mainly widows ; the children are orphans ; they have been stripped of food, ani mals, wagons, and almost everything else, by one passing army or another. Their fences are burned—often their buildings also—they lack seeds, imple ments' teams—in fact, everything. Day after day, they sit moping or crowd list lessly about, " drawing rations" wherever the tiovernment issues any— doing nothing, because they have nothing - to do with—falling constantly into deeper and still deeper wan tonisery and despair. One Million Dollars, judiciously dis tributed among the best and neediest of these people, would add many times that amount to next year's harvest, and save thousands from perishing. The seeds and implements it wouid buy would raise thousands forthwith from famine and despair to industry and comfort. Let 116 raise the money. True, there should he a great " Credit Moldlier," or Real Estate Bank, with a heavy capital employed in the restora tion of Southei n industry ; but there are wants which cannot await and could not be satisfied by this. They should be ministered to at once, and an organiza tion to this end should be effected throughoutthecountry.--N. Y. 'Tribune. Ind' WILMER, of Alabama, has addressed a circular to the Episcopal clergy of the diocese, suggesting the priori hl. 111 C -11 should, in his judg ment, L‘rn them in their official con duct during the present condition of af fairs. Bishop Wilmer disapproves of any reunion with the Episcopal Church North, but leaves the question open for future ecclesiastical determination. In regard to using the form of prayer for the President and all others in civil au thority, he is of opinion that when civil authority shall be restored in the dio cese, it will be eminently proper to resume the use of that form of Prayer, but not before. He does not think it necessary to pray for a continuance of military government, which is not desirable. As respects the taking of the oath of fidelity to the gov ernment, he states that it is, beyond all question, the duty of every citizen to do so, provided that all things be done in justice, judgment and truth. At one point of his circular, the Bishop says: "To pray for all in authority, is un questionably a duty—but a duty of re ligious, and not of political origin and obligation. The mode of discharging that duty must be determined by the proper ecclesiastical authority." LAWLESSNESS IN THE SOT:TH.—Rob bery and murder seem fearfully preva lent throughout the south. The papers teem with fearful recitals. Fiends roam the country in all sorts of disguise, re presenting themselves in any character calculated to disarm suspicion and ob tain information of the pecuniary con dition of the intended victim. How singular that the results of war —the effects of Abolitionism should leave so bloody and sad a record ! Veri ly the blessings which follow in the train of John Brown's soul are not hea venly in design or influence. But then, it is all for the negro. Ouu dispatch from Nashville gives us very few returns of the election, but the election:of Maynard, Stokes and Cooper, Union, and Thomas and Campbell Op position, is considered as certain. From West Tennessee no returns have been received.—X. Y. Tribune. i'hiladelphia News. SIIICIDE. — A suicide, attended with. unusually sad circumstances, was com mitted on Friday morning on Wash ing avenue, near Swanson street. The Self-murderer was Henry W. Erdman, late Ist Lieutenant of Company I, 91st Pennsylvania Volunteers. He called at the Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon, and from his conversation, was believed to be laboring under mani-a potu. Among,other things he said that he intended to drown himself. To Mr. Cooper, the store-keeper of the saloon, he said that he had not tasted liquor for three days, and, holding out his hands, desired him tosee how steady his nerves were. Mr. Cooper's business callinghim away from Erdman, he left him sitting in the Washington avenue passage to the saloon. A few minutes after, as a freight train was approaching, Erdman left his seat and walked to the railroad track, then laid down upon it, immedi ately in front of the tirstcar. The atten tion of the brakesman was at once call ed to Erdman, and he tried to stop the train, but was unable to do so. Three wheels passed over the unfortunate man nearly cutting him in two. Death was almost instantaneous. The body was removed to the Second District Police Station, where an inquest was held on it, and a verdict in accordance with the facts was rendered. Deceased was twen ty-nine years old, and was married. He entered the army as a private, was first promoted to a sergeancy, and subse quently was, on the field, promoted to a first lieutenancy for meritorious servi ces. His commission bears date the Ist of May, 1865. From his mustering pa pers it appears that he was born in Ger many, and that he was enrolled as a jeweller. He was of fine personal ap pearance, being nearly six feet high, with (lark complexion. To some of the persons at the Refreshment Saloon he complained of having been robbed of "_'tlo, in Dock street, near Second, and that seemed to trouble him. ABSCONDING, WITH AN ELOPEMENT. —The aid of the detective has been call ed in to secure the return of Frederick Stanford, who has recently disappeared from his boarding house and counting house. The absent gentleman was a member of the firm of Stanford & Hou ston, Brokers, on Third street, and it is alleged that he disappeared with about &.26,000, the property of the firm. He left about a week ago, paying one week's board in advance, and as a married lady disappeared about the same time, it is believed that the twain went in com pany. No clue has been obtained as to the whereabouts of the fugitives, al thodgh the policemen have wade dili gent exertions to ascertain the direction of their summer tour. The gentleman was recognized among the boarders at his hotel as liberal and gallant to a fault, but there was no suspicion that he was dishonest. lie left in his room a valise which has been opened since his de parture, and found to contain nothing but three pairs of boots and a hat, all old. RETURNING TltooPs—itlOTorS Coy- DEVI' OF SOME oh , THE Ml:N.—The Ist Connecticut Cavalry reached this city early on Friday morning, bringing with them their horses, as well as arms and accoutrements. They were entertained at the Saloons. In consequence of trans portation not being ready for the regi ment, some of the men, all of whom carried sabres and pistols, went into several of the lager beer saloons, got liquor, then behaved very badly. The wife of the proprietor of the saloon, corner of Washington avenue anti Otse go street, Mrs. Mattsern, was knocked down, and another female in the place beaten.

This was continued for several hours, to the terror of most of the resi dents of the neighborhood. " Classis of Phila delphia," of the German Reformed Church, met recently, and the reports made state that the additions to the Church compare favorably with those of the previous year. The number of baptisms also is large, whilst there has been no lack of interest in the solemn coinmunion of the body and blood of our Lord. Vital godliness is on the increase. Weekly lectures, prayer meetings, and Catechetical instructions, receive unu sual attention, arid a very encouraging spirit of benevolence has been manifest ed. The i.4alibath-schools are generally prospering. The Philadelphia Synod of the Lu theran Church have adopted a resolu tion recommending to the congregations to unite in supplication that "all classes and conditions of men may, in accord ance with the spirit of the Gospel and the fundamental principles of our land, come fully to the enjoyment of certain inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

This morning Williams visited the watch and jewelry establishment of Mr. A.

A boy belonging to the store took the watch to the Lochiel Hotel for examination, Williams taking charge of it upon its arrival there, and, accompanied by the lad, he proceeded up stairs. l'pon ar riving at the room occupied by Wil liams, the door was found to be locked, and Williams requested the boy to re main there until he (Williams) #ould go down stairs for the key. The boy teal tcd, but 'W illiams (lid not return, and it was afterwards discovered that he had passed out of the Third street door of the hotel office. He has not since been seen or heard of. The watch accompanied him in his hasty exit, and is not likely to be restored to its owner.

THE A nnucTioN CASE.—A few days ago we chronicled the arrival in this city of a woman from Philadelphia, in search of her sister, who it was alleged had been abducted from home. The young girl was fcTund in one of the "peculiar institutions" up town and taken charge of by her sister, a " gay and festive" female, and the keeper of a house of prostitution in Philadelphia. A young man belonging to Middletown was arrested on a charge of abducting the girl, and aiding in the larceny of some valuable clothing and jewelry ; but it turned out that the girl left vol untarily, taking the stolen property without his knowledge. She was taken back home and her paramour dis charged.—Patriot d• Union. STORE THlEF.—Jameg Dillon was before Alderman Edwards this morn ing on a charge of larceny. He repre- sented himself as a discharged soldier, without money, trying to "work his way home." As one means of doing so James laid violent hands upon a roll of cloth containing about twenty-five yards, which was temptingly exhibited upon a box in front of Jones' store, and was caught in the act of carrying it away. He also had in his possession a pair of boots supposed to have been stolen from one of our shoe dealers. Satisfied with the recovery of his goods, the owner declined to prosecute. The alderman, deeming it proper to rid the community of the presence of a fellow who " worked his way " by such dis honest means, sent him under official escort to the depot with notice to take the first western-bound train.—lb.

IPlt-Hole (Aug. 3) Correspondence Cleveland Herald.] The intelligence sent you concerning the great fire last night was so unsatis factory that I avail myself of the earliest moment this morning to write you a more extended account. Yesterday morning, about 10 o'clock, a new well, tubed the day before, on the Holmden Farm, and on lot 19, near the northern line of the faim, began to be pumped. It was situated on the west side of Pit hole Creek, between it and the " second bottom." After fifty minutes pumping the well began to yield at the rate of three to four hundred barrels in twenty four hours. The well would have flown that amount without further pumping one hour after they began. It is deemed advisable, however, to pump a well that begins to flow, on the doctrine that agi tation does it good. As the owners of the well had no idea what they had when they began to pump, no tank was prepared for the recep,ion of the oil. It was, consequently, pumped out upon the ground. During the day con siderably over one hundred barrels had been pumped upon the ground, fill ing all the little pools, creeping among the grass, gliding gradually down the creek bottom, and along the bluff, fifteen or twenty rods. Such things had been done before, and no se rious apprehensions of danger were felt. Crowds of people visited the well during the day, for such a remarkable well was the great sensation of the day. Itprom ised to be the largest of all the mam moths on Pit-hole. At various times there were from fifty to a hundred per sons present. About half-past 7 o'clock last night, a large number of people were present, and half a dozen were on the derrick, and others were ranged about at various distances. Your cor respondent., providentially, did not hap- pen to be of that number but was at the moment about thirty rods away. My attention wassuddenly arrested by an ex plosion as loud as a good sized cannon would make. The first impression was that some blasting operation had taken place, but on immediately turning about, the scene presented was before me in all its awful grandeur. Suddenly as powder ignites, suddenly as lightning from the skies there swept up from the earth, from an area of three-fourths of an acre of ground which the oil had covered, a flaming, hissing, howling firespout that rose nearly an hundred feet into the air, the whole fiery mass surmounted by a thick black pall of smoke, as from a hundred-throated fur nace. Above the high tree tops it leap ed as if springing in impotent fury at the very skies. Everybody had le and the explosion, and, in a moment, every body saw the fiery denloll overshadow ingtheereek. Lot Nineteen isbuttwelve tiCtuon rods from the tanks of tin . ruinous 11olinden well, in which were thouand,-; Of l•arrels of oil stored away. (nie hundred roils fin therdo w n the creek were II fieen or twen ty thousand inure barrelsof oil stored in tinge tanks, near the Frazier and Wells. As the seething flames mount ed upward and ran into every nook and cranny where a little pool or oil had been formed, everybody expected ill a moment to see the whole creek bottom a boiling lake of lire. Instantly upon the explosion the people ran in every direction, some toward the fire, others from it. Men looked excited and alarm ed. The few women in the crowd cried and already saW their own friends among the many that all felt must have been caught in the whirlpool of fire and dragged down with hungry fury to an awful death. Running iu the direction of the tire, I met three wretched men that, had barely escaped frmn the flames. One of them howling in agony, "0, my God, what. hall Ido ! what can do," had his clothes almost wholly burned from his body. His back, and breast, and legs vere brown, with enormous fire-blis ers hanging: to the skin, while his luinds were burned to the hones. At he time of the explosion he was sitting In the derrick, and in running through he flames, fell down with both hands itlutig,ed into the burning oil. He was sole, however, to leap into the creek, ortunately not covered with the oil, Ina thus hal ely got out of the hissing. crackling blaze. Ilk name was Lucius Kingsley, of Syracuse, New York. On the heels of liiugslcy was another man, bleeding and burnt, and holding out his chaired hands to the passing, frightened crowd. Still another man bleeding, howling, and fearfully burned, followed. The alarm was so great that neither of these could tell how many others had shared their fate, or suffered even more by burning on the ground. They report, ed as many as fifty persons having been in the immediate vicinity of the well when the explosion took place, and that at least half of these had been probably burned to death on the ground. The consternation for ten minutes was im mense. Millions of property were in peril and lives already lost. _lmmedi ately squ ads o f workmen were o rg,ani zed, who, with shovels and spades, worked upon the outer edge of the fire to stay its progress. So soon as the fire demon had licked up the oil on the ground, it be gan gradually to die out on the borders, and, finally, in the space of two hours, Was wholly contented at the well. Engine house, derricks, tanks and ever green trees had been burned. The fire was still roaring at the mouth or the tubing. The oil and gas in immense quantities, in consequence of the great vacuum produced at the bottom of the well, poured forth only to leap into fu rious flames, while the upright portion, of the tubing dripped with liquid fire_ During the night men labored to devise some plan for its extinguishment. At length three pieces of tubing screwed together, were by means of a funnel, run into the mouth of the tubing whence the oil issued in flames, and finally fas tened, so that the oil was conducted forty or fifty feet tardier oft. By the free use of wet blankets the fire was at length subdued at one o'clock this morning, when a shout arose from the engaged as if a victory over the rebel hordes had beep gained. In the meantime it was learned that none had failed to escape unhurt. These were Lucius Kingsley, of Syracuse, New York, not expected to live, though there is hope; Curtis Armstrong, of Clarion county, I'a; John Dugan, of Pennsylva nia; A. I'. Ford, of Niagara Falls, body burned on the breast, and legs and hands; and Mr. Gregory, of New York city, and his lady, to whom he was showing the well when the explosion took place. It is hoped that all of these will recover, though in the case of the first two it is very doubtful. The well is again running this morning in a hole dug Mr the purpose. Its yield since the fire, with the sucker rods yet in, cannot be less than -100 barrels. It promises to be the largest well on Pit-hole creek. This morning it is flowing more beauti fully in a continuous stream, and al ready gives assurances of being the largest well on Pit-hole. This fire will be very important in teaching the ne cessity of not testing wells by pumping them on the ground. This morning the people are gathered about the well cu riously gazing at the few ruins that yet. remain. This well, hereafter to be fa , mous, is partly owned by the United I States Company. Fortunately no lives were lost, though it is miraculous that any escaped. Trouble Amoug the Abolitionists orßerks The " loyal " people of Berks county have got into a pretty fight among themselves.
